This might be my showstopper Quanta issue on KDE 4.3 if the 3.5x dependencies aren't in the Ubuntu Main repository for Ubuntu 9.04. But see below. > Personally, I think the move to get Quanta4 going as a web oriented version > of Kdevelop4 is a great idea as it doesn't mean reinventing the wheel.

But they aren't, so different ports produce different results.

And that will support the other software that you need. I'll hazard a guess that keeping all of the above running on the same distro runs into issues at some faily near point in the future as other apps update. I take it that development on Quanta 3.x is at or near the end? For me, I see KDE4 as a huge improvement both technically and in > the UI/desktop. I was about 20 pages into a rant in response, but thought better of it. If you love it, use it, but there's a snowball's chance in Hell of me coming around to your opinion. :-) I've already made my decision; this user isn't riding along with KDE 4. May you enjoy your journey.
